BILLINGS - A lightning storm sparked multiple fires northeast of Billings Monday night.

Fire dispatch says one fire started near Broadview on 21 Mile Road. Dispatch says no homes are thought to be threatened so far by that blaze.

Dispatch also tells us there are other fires burning in the area, including one near Worden, but they are unable to tell us exact locations or the size of these fires.

According to Roundup Disaster and Emergency Services' Facebook page, Musselshell County has several active fires currently burning.

Area fire crews, as well as the Department of Natural Resources and Conservation, are out fighting these blazes.
